The Wolves are in discussions with Bobby Jackson as a player development coach.

He joined the Kings coaching staff after the NBA lockout and was an assistant coach, but was not brought back with new coach Mike Malone taking over. Jackson played his college ball at the University of Minnesota and reached the Final Four in 1997. Thu, Aug 29, 2013 10:24:00 AM

Bobby Jackson and former Warriors' coach Keith Smart will join the Sacramento Kings as assistant coaches when the lockout lifts.

Jackson announced the move on his Twitter account, and although the timing is interesting, we wouldn't read into it whatsoever. Both guys should be assets to the young guards currently on the Sacramento roster. Mon, Nov 14, 2011 12:54:00 PM

Jackson, the former Kings guard and longtime fan favorite, played 12 years and was a key contributor for the Kings between 2000 and 2005, becoming one of the league's best backup point guards. Free agency and his recently broken thumb made the decision to retire a bit easier for Jackson, who is 36. Fri, Oct 23, 2009 01:47:00 PM

Filling in for injured Beno Udrih (ankle), Bobby Jackson had 18 points, four 3-pointers, four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals for the Kings on Monday.

This was probably Jackson's best game of the season, but there was no way to see it coming. The Kings wrap up their woeful season vs. the Wolves on Wednesday -- if Udrih is still out, Jackson is probably worth using. Tue, Apr 14, 2009 12:28:00 AM

This was probably Jackson's best game of the season, but there was no way to see it coming. The Kings wrap up their woeful season vs. the Wolves on Wednesday -- if Udrih is still out, Jackson is probably worth using.

Bobby Jackson scored 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting (2-of-6 from downtown) with three rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 29 minutes off the bench against the Warriors on Sunday.

Jackson saw this much run because Kevin Martin (ankle) was out, and produced this much because of the matchup against the Warriors. If Martin misses time, Jackson could conceivably have value in deeper leagues, but even then owners would be taking a pretty big risk in rostering a guy who has been injured most of the past month.

Bobby Jackson returned to the Kings lineup on Friday after missing the past two games with swelling in his right knee.

Jackson had five points, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes off the bench. He doesn't have much appeal in average leagues, and his return is bad news for owners of Beno Udrih (three points, eight assists in 28 minutes).

Coach Kenny Natt told the Sacramento Bee that he doesn't expect Bobby Jackson (fractured cheek bone) to play "until next week or so."

Without B-Jax around, Beno Udrih will continue to see extra run and Will Solomon will get the backup minutes. When Jackson returns, he will not get enough run to make a fantasy impact, nor will he render Udrih irrelevant in fantasy leagues, either.

Kings guard Bobby Jackson is expected to miss Sunday's game after being diagnosed with a fractured left cheek bone.

There's no timetable for Jackson's return, and with Beno Udrih (ankle) doubtful to play, it looks like point guard duties will fall to backup Will Solomon. Solomon had a big game on Friday, but his value hinges on the health of Jackson and Udrih.

Bobby Jackson had 19 points, six rebounds, two assists, a steal and two 3-pointers on 7-of-11 shooting before appearing to leave Friday's game with a head injury.

His injury has not been verified, but it appeared that Will Solomon finished the game after Jackson suffered some sort of head injury. Jackson has been a solid fill-in while Beno Udrih has been hurt, but Solomon could be on the verge of getting some run for the hapless Kings.

Bobby Jackson scored 10 points on 5-of-10 shooting with eight rebounds, five assists, and three steals in just 22 minutes against the Nuggets on Sunday.

Jackson has been starting for Beno Udrih, and since we don't know a lot about Udrih's timetable for return yet, B-Jax looks like a good short-term fix for owners needing point guard help. Will Solomon also looked good running the point in limited minutes, and the Kings will likely give him small opportunities to prove himself.

An MRI revealed that Frank Mason has slight tear of the plantar fascia in his left heel.

He's obviously going to miss the season finale, but he's expected to make a full recovery in time for the team's summer program. This is not the same foot as his last injury, and it's also not as severe. Mason averaged 7.9 points, 2.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 0.7 steals, 0.6 triples and 1.3 turnovers in 18.9 minutes this season, shooting 37.9% from the field and 81.7% from the line. We like his chances of opening the 2018-19 season as De'Aaron Fox's primary backup.

That should keep him out of Las Vegas Summer League in July. Players often get a knee scope after the completion of a season, and it's not necessarily going to affect them negatively in the coming year. Bogdanovic took a step back in efficiency as the season went along, so he'll look to turn it around and he should be close to 100 percent for camp in the fall.

This will be his fourth straight game on the shelf, but Labissiere should recover in plenty of time for Sacramento's summer program. The 22-year-old forward didn't take a huge step forward this season with the Kings showcasing Zach Randolph for months, but he did look solid after the All-Star break with 10.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.6 triples on 42.2% shooting from the field and 90.2% from the line. He does have some sleeper potential for next season.

Giles is reportedly "healthy" and hasn't suffered any setbacks, but the Kings will hold him out until the Summer League. Giles tore his left ACL in 2013 and his right one in 2015, and the Kings want to improve his overall strength before throwing him into game action. The Kings are saying that his measurements in athletic tests are better than they were before the draft, and he still has some intrigue in dynasty formats.
